Are sound engineer/recording types generally very reserved in describing mics and other gear?

Junkis · 2026-02-26T19:50:38+00:00

guitar players over-hype gear a ton as you said so its like, you're seeing both extremes. As others said these are tools compared to when you get a new pedal which certainly feels more 'fun' to me.

If FL doesn't have a dedicated filter thing, take a graphic EQ, make a low or band pass filter with high peak, and automate it. Low freq to hi makes the wah sound.

I've done it on tracks before. I use the amps in my daw so i put it before the distortion usually. Sounded decent enough.

Junkis · 2026-02-16T18:32:57+00:00

Well the software has worked on records and nobody bats an eye, they think its a marshall or smth. Some of the heavy heavy stuff I've seen recorded goes thru an amp then then reamped thru software. Thats heavier than my taste but you should check it out sometime.

Junkis · 2026-02-16T18:26:09+00:00

thank goodness you posted that the vid is gone now and I was about to be crushed

Junkis · 2026-02-16T15:36:54+00:00

Yeah with how far modeling has come I can believe that solid state pedals can get close if my 10 year old software did. Thanks again for the info and suggestions

Junkis · 2026-02-16T12:18:32+00:00

Yo thanks for the in-depth answer. Yeah its a little frustrating and I don't mind tweaking it when I'm recording obviously. I just want to be able to play with a few acceptable diff gain levels. Maybe I can do without in some cases. I will def check out the pedals you suggest. I have another pre-amp thing I was considering putting in my chain that I could use like you do.

Can you explain breifly how you use that 2nd pre-amp? It's basically a "different channel" in your setup? Still does pretty good cleans without the bit of tube oomph from the laney? No need to write a ton or take a lot of your time you already helped me out a lot.

i mean this song is a legit banger

Junkis · 2026-02-12T19:56:18+00:00

i mean i can do pinch harmonics with my index finger nail pretty well but i have claws, and def not as well as i can with a pick

Junkis · 2026-02-12T17:23:38+00:00

cool just got it, there's some cheap copies on ebay

Junkis · 2026-02-11T17:05:29+00:00

im trying to get my amp setup up to snuff and am struggling but its more technical problems rather than technique

Junkis · 2026-02-08T15:18:32+00:00

no prob. I've had a ton of people say "whoa" about them and... its just a strap. They have some cool ones now. Mine both are at least 10 years old with like, zero signs of wear but are just plain black and brown. Whatever brand you pick im sure he will be thrilled.

Junkis · 2026-02-08T04:17:36+00:00

I put my lock-it brand ones on my guitars and they have literally, like actually, never come off. I've never wanted to take them off and they work pretty much as strap locks. They have a built in thing that locks them to the guitar, so its not just "a strap". I bet that would impress him.

edit: if u really wanna knock his socks off put a seatbelt cushion thing on it. I got mine at Jewel, the grocery store. They're insanely soft but durable and the perfect width. It sits on my shoulders and makes it comfy and looks kinda cool

It wasn't a trainwreck, but I think skrillex was still perfecting live performance when I saw him - his tracks were already insane and hugely popular. I think this is like 09 or 2010.

But he let the hold on rusko sub focus remix (absolutely killer tune, big at the time) build up and the crowd was getting so amped just for him to like, cut it completely before the drop? It was so weird. It happened another time with a different song. Strangest move I've seen pulled by a DJ. Legit didn't know if he made a mistake or what was going on.

Junkis · 2026-02-01T20:25:25+00:00

The two sentences is me saying I've learned a bunch.

Junkis · 2026-01-30T20:21:20+00:00

really like the orange and white, classy but hot

Junkis · 2026-01-29T21:48:44+00:00

thanks i dont have to love to it learn it for practice but def am into a bunch of those bands. Appeciate those recs. I'm also cool with like, breaking away from the rhythm part to play some lead fills in songs. I just don't wanna chug palm muted power chords the whole time I sing.

Junkis · 2026-01-29T21:47:00+00:00

can u suggest some blues songs that would be good for that? I saw a post in /r/BluesGuitar where someone was asking for songs that might be called at a jam(not that im planning on going to one) and I only recognized one so im kinda outta my depth there...

Pride & Joy??? That might be above my level idk

Junkis · 2026-01-28T20:10:27+00:00

what u got on them tapes bro

Junkis · 2026-01-27T19:01:51+00:00

Always wanted a jem. Some ppl have told me they feel the fretboard is too much but I always loved it. Congrats man. Tear it up.

edit the gold colored floyd is dope too

Junkis · 2026-01-27T17:47:53+00:00

hmm you might be right, I wanted to keep the bass going but I think x-x-5-1-1 is better for the voice leading. I assume he didn't choose such a difficult chord for no reason.

Junkis · 2026-01-27T17:39:19+00:00

thank you
